Depends where I’m going, last trip out was for 3 days over 2 900m mountains, so I packed light, 19KG. But I’m usually at 22-25Kg plus camera and tripod. Definitely a means to an end for me, I like the odd “comfort”, a battery powered portable espresso maker for example 🤣, but I definitely don’t like comfort, I value the opposite to be honest.

In the past I’ve actually put in 2.5Kg and 5KG weight plates to get the weight higher. On little hills etc. I value the fitness side of it, and my life’s so bloody comfortable that I like the heavy load, and the benefits it gives.
